Were Having A Birthday Lets Celebrate

I’ve been writing poetry for most of my life. However, way back in the day, who would ever think of recording those creations for posterity? It was about forty years ago that I began to make copies of my work, and before I knew it, I had boxes of poems in chronological order. When I retired in 2000, I thought I could keep better track of my poems if they were in alphabetical order. That was when I emptied all those old boxes and replaced the yellowed pieces of paper with my poems retyped onto nice white paper and placed neatly into a file cabinet. But I thought you might be bored meeting my friends alphabetically from A to Z, even meeting them from 1950 to present. That is a long, long time.

"Every child in the world has a birthday. But how children celebrate this occasion depends on where they live. In this latest addition to the Around the World series, award-winning author Margriet Ruurs explores the fascinating ways that children experience birthdays. You'll meet fourteen kids from different countries, each celebrating a birthday according to their local traditions. Bram from Belgium never gets to sleep in on his birthday - his family wakes him up by clanging pots and pans. For Ninoshka in India, it's important to give thanks to the Hindu gods and share sweets with her classmates. And some kids don't celebrate their birthdays at all. Instead, Phúc Khang in Vietnam celebrates Tet, when everyone in the country turns one year older. A world map that pinpoints the countries in the book, a Note to Parents and Teachers with interactive activities and a glossary of foreign words and phrases help to enrich the reading experience. Based on interviews with real people from each country, Birthdays Around the World is an invitation to experience a different culture, think about your own birthday celebrations and even learn how to say "Happy Birthday" in another language (like Hawaiian: "Hau oli la hanau" [ho-O-lee LA HA-now])!"--
